Finally got through to SDI about payment mistake - system update but have to pay back overpayment

I found a way to solve SDI payment delays and errors, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETi3MYeegdY

Wow, that's great that you finally got it sorted out! I've been trying to reach someone at SDI for weeks now. How did you manage to get through to a real person?

Ugh, the system is so broken. Why should you have to pay back money they gave you by mistake? It's not your fault they can't get their act together. 🤦‍♂️

Congrats on getting it sorted! I'm in a similar boat - made a mistake on my claim and now I'm worried about overpayments. Can you walk me through what you said to them? Did they give you any trouble about paying it back?

This is why I always triple-check everything before submitting any government forms. One tiny mistake can cause months of headaches. Glad you got it figured out, OP!

For anyone else dealing with SDI issues, here's what I've learned from my experience: • Always double-check your claim before submitting. It's easier to fix errors early. • Keep detailed records of all your communications with SDI. • If you made a mistake, be honest about it when you talk to them. They're more likely to work with you. • Be persistent in trying to reach them. Use auto-dialers or services if you have to. • If you're asked to repay, see if you can set up a payment plan. • Check if you qualify for any hardship waivers if repayment would cause financial strain. • Stay on top of any deadlines they give you. Hope this helps someone! It's a frustrating process, but hang in there.

anyone else think its crazy that we have to jump through all these hoops just to get what we're entitled to? the whole systems a joke tbh

Pro tip: If you're having trouble reaching SDI, try calling right when they open in the morning. I've had better luck getting through that way.
